Without going into great detail I might cite first of all the issue of biological disarmament - or what is left of it after the 2001 failure to come up with a verification protocol. I could also cite the various aspects of conventional disarmament, such as implementation of the Ottawa Convention, attempts to launch negotiations on new instruments under the 1980 Convention, currently focusing in particular on explosive remnants of war, and also the identification of a new approach to the issue of light weapons.
Sin entrar en detalles, citaré en primer lugar el desarme biológico, o más bien lo que queda de él, después del fracaso en 2001 de la elaboración de un protocolo de verificación.
